Galatians 3:8-16

8Now the Scripture saw in advance that God would justify the Gentiles by faith and proclaimed the gospel ahead of time to Abraham, saying, All the nations will be blessed through you.

9Consequently, those who have faith are blessed with Abraham, who had faith.

10For all who rely on the works of the law are under a curse, because it is written, Everyone who does not do everything written in the book of the law is cursed.

11Now it is clear that no one is justified before God by the law, because the righteous will live by faith.

12But the law is not based on faith; instead, the one who does these things will live by them.

13Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law by becoming a curse for us, because it is written, Cursed is everyone who is hung on a tree.

14The purpose was that the blessing of Abraham would come to the Gentiles by Christ Jesus, so that we could receive the promised Spirit through faith.

15Brothers and sisters, I’m using a human illustration. No one sets aside or makes additions to a validated human will.

16Now the promises were spoken to Abraham and to his seed. He does not say “and to seeds,” as though referring to many, but referring to one, and to your seed, who is Christ.
